For some reason people doesn't seem to test daily snapshot as well as they would test something explicitly labeled 'release candidate'. In my experience it doesn't even help to ask people to consider a particular daily snapshot a release candidate. Of course, the majority of people will wait for the final release to test anything, but we can't do much about that (well, we can release more often to make it a smaller problem). However, what we can do is simply upload your generated tar archive to alpha.gnu.org and call _that_ a release candidate. Alfred? /Simon
